Compensated Suffering - An Inspiration For All Who Have Suffered At The Hands of Another written by Barbara Bryant, Chapter 11 discusses Mark 4:37-38 which says, "And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?" ... we can be on board with Jesus but still be in trouble ... Suffering has the potential to leave individuals wounded if they attempt to maneuver, in their own strength, through life's challenges. Seldom do women and men, alike, read books that carefully guide them from the realities and horrors of suffering to a more joyous perspective of suffering. Compensated Suffering is inspiring for both men and women who have ever questioned the purpose of multiple and diverse trials! From chapter to chapter, encouragement leaps into your spirit as Barbara Bryant walks you through her personal and spiritual journey to a new paradigm of suffering-a paradigm built upon faith, forgiveness and renewal. Whether your suffering has manifested itself as a physical ailment, abuse, financial hardship or even a lengthy "holding" period, Barbara eloquently shares the new possibilities in God that can arise through the pain of suffering! Let Compensated Suffering minister to your throbbing heart and encourage you to increase your faith, broaden your spiritual perspective and walk in your God-given destiny!

I am trying to get this word out...it must be necessary because of the fight to get it on air! I wonder if we actually understand that every day we are truly at war. Soldiers on the battlefield never take a day of rest. They never cease to stand guard. They may take turns guarding the post, but the guarding never stops, because they understand what it means to be at war. They understand that if they let their guard down somebody will die. When we let our guard down somebody stands to be lost eternally!

Eve was outstandingly good of her kind, someone of great beauty who had an ability to do or act; a person having great influence, force or authority; a nation with influence over other nations, the product of the multiplication of a quantity by itself. Her curiosity, her desire to learn or know, strange, not previously known, seen, unfamiliar things overwhelmed her vision. She did not realize that she was already like God, made in his image and likeness . . .
